Over recent weeks the school has had a number of success stories. Our NAPLAN performance and the musical are two highlights out of many.

NAPLAN

I would like to congratulate all the Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 students for their overall performance in the NAPLAN testing. Our NAPLAN results across all year levels were very good. All year levels achieved above or close to state average in all areas. The secondary results were particularly strong with our Year 9 students again performing exceptional well. Importantly, there has been very good improvement shown from Year 3 (2017) to Year 5 (2019) and Year 7 (2017) to Year 9 (2019). Our NAPLAN success is a credit to the strength of our teachers and programs, and I thank our staff for their good work.

The school is focused on providing the opportunities for all students to succeed and grow in order to be the best they can be as they journey from Prep to Year 12. These results are an indication of that positive growth as they progress through the year levels. Importantly, this growth and success sets up our students for success in their Senior years, tertiary studies and employment.

The Musical

Thanks to all the staff, students, parents and volunteers who helped organise and run the musical. Both performances were wonderful. The students performed magnificently both on stage and behind the scenes, the direction was great, music grand, costume and make up outstanding, the sets excellent, sound and lighting spot on and admin and marketing well done.

A special thanks to Mrs Pauline Leigh who took on the role of director midway through, Mrs Jo Barker for her involvement from Day 1, Mr Dale Rabic for his music expertise and coordination, Mrs Courtenay Mason  for some great sets, Mrs Kitty Kendall for the costume coordination, Mrs Kellie Biggin for the make-up coordination, Mrs Lorien Kirby for the props, Mr Dave Fleming of his years of experience and helping pull it all together, Charlie for the sound and lighting and Mrs Angie Sims for the marketing and admin.

Importantly, it was a great opportunity for all the students to have a wonderful and fun experience, and was a fantastic community event.

I wish all a calm and focused end to another very busy term.
